Declare That a Refusal to Pay Down This Sum Will Result in Whole-sal- e Destruction of Property, It has developed that the recent attempts to dynamite the bridges and track on the line of the Northern Pacific between Livingston and Missoula are in furtherance of a plot to force the railway company to pay $50,000 for Immunity from the outrages. In August last the company received a letter demanding $25,000, and It was threatened if the terms proposed were not agreed to, dynamite would be used on the line. No attention was paid to the demand and shortly after the railroad bridge at Livingston was partially wrecked by dynamite, and a few nights later another stick of dynamite was exploded near B.ozeman under a passing train. Other letters followed, and the dynamiters proposed that the company pay $30,000, and If It acceded to the demand it was to carry a white flag on engines hauling trains, and Sept. 22 was to run a light engine from Butte to Missoula and at a point on the road it was to stop on a signal and an agent of the company was to pay over the money. The company, hoping to catch the men, put out the wfcle flags and on the night agreed upon ran the light engine. Behind it followed another engino, pulling two cars. One was filled wit'a armed sheriffs and deputies, and the other contained horses and bloodhounds. The run was made from Butte to Missoula, bpt there was no signal, and it was thought the men had been seared off. Shortly after the letters began to arrive again from the dynamiters, making the same demand, and telling the railroad If It agreed to the terms to put the flags on the engines. This the railroad company has not done, and In the past two weeks there have been four attempts to damage the line by the use of dynamite.

While four of the governor's children were playing In front of the mansion an unknown man came along and tried to carry the oldest girl away. The other children clung to her clothes and screamed. The man was so badly frightened when he saw neighbors coming that he dropped the child and ran. Governor Mickey soys that the warden of the penitentiary, Mr. Bee-mereported to him twice that a kidnaping attempt had been prophesied by the convicts.
